Hilary Radner

 ( New Zealand Academics ) 

Radner's research covers feminist film and media studies, and representations of gender in visual culture. Besides film and television, she has written on topics including make-up, fashion photography and women's magazines, celebrity culture, and New Zealand fashion. In 2017 Radner and Vicki Karaminas edited a special issue of the journal Fashion Theory on the moving image and fashion. The issue contained papers from a two-day conference convened by Radner and Karaminas at Massey University in 2017, called "The End of Fashion”.

In 2011, Radner and Natalie Smith curated New Zealand's first exhibition of NOM*d garments and memorabilia from NOM*d founder Margi Robertson. The exhibition, titled Nom*d: The Art of Fashion, was held at the Eastern Southland Gallery in Gore, and contained more than 70 garments.

Radner was a judge of the 2019 New Zealand Collarts ATOM Award.
